that's a lot of "actually"s lmao I ended up getting my s23 ultra stolen at a bar when it fell out of my pocket so I had to revert to my old s9, never going back to those older phones again. It worked fine, in fact it is still a really good phone-- but it is missing out on so many good features, simple stuff too like being able to crop videos while editing and not just zoom in on them. Stayed with that for 6 months before saving up for a much better phone--- I'm so happy I got the s24 ultra now, one of the best phones on the market by far.
The reason why the phone is unusable is because of the Snapdragon 820 processor, which is very bad, and the Snapdragon 810 is even better since it heats up considerably. In fact all phones with the snapdragon 820, 821 processor are unusable today. The s7 and s7 edge with the exynos 8890 processor are much much faster and can be used perfectly today.
I still have this phone, it runs flawlessly for the basics and even occasionally still gets minor updates! This is why I loved Samsung! I only had to switch because they shut off the 3G networks where I live! Or I would still be using it to this day!
@@voteDC oh wow! I just looked it up! It does! I feel so stupid right now! I have spent about $650 on new phones. I was not very technical back then so I get I did not know about all that stuff. I am flabbergasted! Oh well, too late now, I guess. But thanks for letting me know. My carrier sent me a letter in the mail and told me that my phone would no longer receive service. I guess this is why you do not trust a company telling you that your old device is no good and get a new one... preferably from them, of course!
Well I think these old phone are acting more like phone. I mean to say is that new phones ruining us but old ones having hardware limits we're in our senses and working towards our goals. Companies keeps launching new and more power phones every year. Understand your requirments and then choose your device.
Your S7 has problems. Maybe do a factory reset & try again. This is NOT normal, not even close. We have old Samsungs in the family, there is an S6 that's 10x faster than your S7.
Same my s7 edge opens tiktok in just 3 seconds instead of 5 minutes shown in the video! It is literally 15x faster than the video I'm using it as my daily driver
The reason the battery life is bad is ether the pones os is new or is the battery life that’s bad when it was new or you deceased the battery health and it doesn’t matter if it’s a iPhone or android
@@RuviaPawz hes not lying my s7 edge is flying like literarly it opens apps in just 1 second and samsung apps in just 0.4 seconds and youtube in like 2 secs and especially tiktok 3 seconds!! not 5 minutes!! also my s7 edge is running android 12 one ui 4.1
There must be something wrong with your phone, I've been using my S7 for five years now and it's still perfectly fine. I've generally upgraded my phone when it starts to feel laggy due to apps bloating (updating) over time, and it hasn't happened with this one. Or maybe it's because yours seems to be some weird carrier specific model with unknown amounts of additional stuff.
There's also the fact that that phone was fast back then, and if you still use it consistently then you've never truly experienced faster so your brain defaults the S7 as Fast even though it's dreadfully slow for most nowadays.
It's a weird phenomenon you may have used faster but if you've never used fast as long as you've used your current, then do you your brain classifies your current as fast even though it really isn't.
@@Samthibault04your s7 is soo slow... it definitely has some problems and also mine works very fast compared to yours apps like youtube,Google maps,gdrive,play store,gphotos opens in 1-2 seconds and simple samsung apps like phone,gallery,messages,notes,camera just open in half a second your s7 has some serious issues ngl my s7 edge is literally 20x faster shown in the video I'm using it as my daily driver and I will until it breaks.
@@eylemuyavul3055 at one point in the 90s waiting 5 minutes for your computer to load was considered fast. You daily drive an S7 so to you that is fast because you've never indepthly used a faster device more then you have the S7 So your brain is used to it and has settled, I guarantee if you went out bought a brand new s24 use that for a few months everyday as a daily then went back to the S7 it would be unbearable just like it is in my situation.
Why is everyone's S7 running slow mine runs smooth up to this day
Nah I have s4 mini slower then s7 by way I'm gona have one soon to test this s7
Only one thing for s 7 need to flash system to new system is available on xda developer the is s7 have android 14 is last system on s7
Same I'm typing this with my s7 edge with android 12 one ui 4.1 and it runs fast!
@@eylemuyavul3055 how did you do that i mean my s7 that i'm using rn does not even have one ui it STILL HAS TOUCHWIZ please make a Tutorial
@@7nCJI7D9VDM it is a port rom and u can find how to install it in youtube just type galaxy s7 one ui 4.1 and follow the steps

Watching with galaxy s7... still good..

The S7 supports 4G, so should have still worked for you.

I need a follow up, I am a heavy custom rom user and I have a Galaxy A20
Try to custom rom the s7 with android 14 it is still as fast as a new midrange
I have used Android 13 with mine, let me tell you, it's not. You're much better off with a 2020 midranger when it comes down to it.
Snapdragon version can't be customized sadly
can u install one ui to the s7?

My dad's still using this phone. Its working perfectly fine!
Yes, I am watching the video with it.
Good Video! keep up with the good work!
there's no way your S7 should be that slow, something is definitely wrong with your model
Yes, because mine s7 runs perfectly fine on custom rom one ui 4.1, it takes 2sec to open a tik tok...

i think if you get a new battery for it it will properly run faster
why would a new battery make a phone faster
@@BoboFerreSpeed could be throttled
The S7 is slow today, but not like this!
Something is wrong.
